A Study on the Interpretation of Transference in Architectural Form |
| Abstract |
The various forms of `transference' are called figures of speech or tropes; that is `turnings' of language away from literal meanings and towards figurative meanings. While metaphor is generally considered to manifest the basic pattern of transference invloved and so can be thought of as the fundamental figure in architectural from, the other figures tend to be versions of metaphor's prototype. This study being restricted to a visual relationship in architecture, two representative figures of transference are suggested: metaphor and analogy. In metaphor `one constituent acts upon another almost like an X-ray', the reader has to do somethisg, to join, in order to hit the `target'. If metaphor can be said to `simple', analogy could be termed complex, since it involves the use of relations not primitive entities.With some theoretical discussions being examined, the formation of transference in real architecture will be analyzed. To understand the form of transference is to understand the way of design which creats the system and thereby gurantees the `convertibility of ideas' between different levels of cultural reality on which all life, and thus all human life with architecture, depends. |
